The Android Site

Had enough Hero news today? Well here’s a change of pace. T-Mobile has release two new applications to the Android Market. Mobile Backup And Hotspot Connect. And they both do pretty much exactly what you would think.

Mobile Backup will sync your contacts to you my.t-mobile.com account, while disabling your Google Account sync. Maybe not for everyone, but if you’re going to a non-Google phone or don’t use your Google account much, I can see how this would be useful. Or you can do a one-time sync, and stick with the automatic Google syncing. The app seems to suffer from the same thing as T-Mobile My Account, where you need to turn off you wifi manually before using it.

And Hotspot Connect will locate the nearest T-Mobile Hotspot and automatically log you in when you arrive.
